About this product

Product Information

When Sony's BDP-S1 first hit the consumer electronics marketplace in 2006, the format wars over the successor to the DVD were just getting started. Of course, Blu-ray eventually emerged victorious, and this classic Sony Blu-ray player is a great example of the format's elegance. The Sony BDP-S1 is capable of full HD 1080p output on Blu-Ray disc, and is also compatible with DVDs, as well as MP3 and JPEG file formats. The smorgasbord of digital and analog audio and video output options include HDMI, coaxial, optical, and S-video, making it easy to adapt this device to any home theater system.

Bought a used BD-S1 from ebay for about $300 in an attempt to save money over a new third-generation BDP-S500. The S1 is beautiful looking, solid and heavy. There is a cooling fan, but it is relatively quiet. The unit would not work for my application (playing my own BD-video rendered from Sony Vegas) as received, but a firmware update to version 3.1 solved the problem (and many others). Thanks Sony for making a second generation product upgradeable to near third-generation performace!
The ability to color balance the HDMI output video is a plus. As with the 500 there is no internet connection and no interactive features. The unit lacks support for AVCHD discs encoded with x.v.Color (xvYCC) technology - but this feature is not important to me at this time. Up conversion of standard DVD to 720p is good, but I see little difference between the S1 and my inexpensive LG player with HDMI out. Overall I am quite happy with the S1.Read full review

Very well built, excellent picture and sound quality. In addition to HDMI output, analog outputs are also provided. The only drawback is that the time to load a disk is somewhat long. This is normal for this model-and the load time is acceptable.

I love this unit. The setup using the supplied HDMI cable was effortless. The remote is very user friendly and very intuitive. To say the picture is great is an understatement. I first watched a blueray disc of the 5th Element and was totally blown away by what I saw. The picture on my Sony KDL-52XBR3 was astonishing. After being totally impressed I watched a standard DVD of American Gangstar and was pleased by the upconverted picture. At the price I paid ($300.00) this unit was worth every dollar. My only gripe is with the cheap plastic loading tray. Having bought Sony ES level DVD players in the past I had become accustomed to a certain build quality, I don't see that here but by waiting as long as I did to get this unit I paid much less than the original asking price ($1000). I think I got my money's worthRead full review

sony just came out with this new " blue-ray " laser that seriously enhances the image on a hdtv - even on the standard dvd's it is quite a difference. on the new blue-ray dvd's - it is outstanding !!! not just the image but the sound and quality together makes for one completely must see dvd ! they are not cheap-new at stores - 900-1000 bucks-on e-bay - 740-900 bucks ! you should have the right equipment to go with it - like a newer hidef tv and a newer model reciever and also get the best speakers that you can. you will not be dissapointed.

yes,it does not decode DTS,and take ever to load,but the picture quality ,is as good as the newest machine out there,remember the famous dvds7000? I have one ,and it still working,that tell you about the first one from Sony,over built,over engineer ,elegant looks, and tough as a tank,they just don't built thing like that after the initial model!
